No. I must admit there is a slight chance in that category. Lol

And then there were 5.

Yeah. It really should only be species that most members have a chance of catching and submitting. Like Sea toads.

I wasn’t talking about me. I specialise in sea toads.

And so it begins

You couldn’t win the grinner category anyway @Drop Bear. There is too much competition.

Yeah. And then you wake up.

Don’t worry @Drop Bear. @ellicatand I are here to help you carry the load.

Thanks mate.

Thanks Brian. And the trace? Just the same as your main line, heavier line or wire trace?

Yeah. It’s looking a bit more hopeful. Went and met @Drop Beartoday and borrowed some rods and reels from him for the trip. I tried to borrow his boat too but unfortunately his trailer has a different trailer plug so I couldn’t tow it. He wasn’t home at the time so couldn’t see if he had an adapter.

Seems perfectly fine to me too. The tackle used makes sense, the location is a known cobia hangout and the photo looks totally legit. Also, cobia is on the specified species list and it’s posted on the page @Drop Bear posts most of his catches.

He also appears damaged. Missing part of his lower jaw.

Note to @chistophagus. I fear that the unique symbol may not ensure a fair contest. Can we discuss before next year’s comp please?

And, I’m so sorry. But it still doesn’t comply. You didn’t originally post this photo on the correct topic page. Must be on the Leaderboard page. Damn. Pity you didn’t take a third photo. At least your trevally still complies.

My! What delicate hands you have drop bear.

Of course I’m only joking. Who knows, with the weather the way it is at the moment, it might be the winning bream!

I don’t think my problem is going to be interpreting the rules. It’s going to be catching a fish to apply the rules to.

I’m kinda hoping you other northsiders are out fishing for the comp. I’m too busy bantering and educating Southsiders to have time for fishing.

If you are referring to the printed characters on the squid jig packet, that is printing, not writing. To write is to use cursive. Which, for you Southsiders, is running writing. As I said earlier, just ask a northsider. They’ll be glad to help. cheers Greg

Hey @Drop Bear. Another thing. I was just admiring your impressive trevally capture, and although I realise you won’t be submitting it to the IGFA anytime soon, I was wondering why your fingers are SO BIG compared to the brag mat beneath. You didn’t buy that brag mat on the Southside did you? They are notorious down there for brag mats that show centimetres when they are actually millimetres. Also, maybe you should try using a slightly larger hook in future. Just trying to be helpful to my fellow competitors, even if they do live on the wrong side of town.

Well spotted @ellicat.

Attention all Southside Landlubbers, especially you @DropBear. I am sorry to inform you but @DropBear’s massive bream capture won’t count because it doesn’t comply with the rules. I know English is a hard language to understand but most Northsiders have mastered it. If you need help interpreting the rules just ask any Northsider. Most of them are lawyers, doctors or other professionals and will be more than happy to help cheers Greg A proud Northsider.

No but see my post above

No. Not at the moment. But if there are new cases today they’ll probably restrict travel.
